Recently I spoke with Mark Henry Phillips, sound designer and additional composer for the podcast Serial. Every week he would mix an entire episode and develop additional music as necessary. Phillips didn't write the show's iconic theme, though: that music was written by Nick Thorburn, whose work was integral to defining the hit podcast's identity.
I've had 11 and a half years of professional music making via the Unicorns, Human Highway, Mister Heavenly, and Islands. Islands have released five albums since 2005 and including solo releases, I've released another six. I've done little odd appearances here and there, mostly singing the hook on rap records, but primarily I'm fronting bands and making records, which involves producing the records, writing the music and the lyrics.
I was finishing film school in Montreal and the Unicorns made a record, for $200, in our rehearsal space. I realized how much cheaper and more immediate the results would be to make a go of the music so I put the film stuff on a heavy pause.
My friend Kurt Braunohler is a comedian in L.A. He was starting his podcast the K Ohle and asked me to do the theme song. Gabe Delahaye, another comedian and friend in L.A., was making a podcast and he also asked me to do the music. The podcast never went, but his producer, Jane Marie, liked the songs that I submitted and suggested me when her This American Life cohorts were building up Serial. I was offered the job, and I created some music on the fly and the Serial producers deemed it worthy.
I received one episode, in rough form, and built the music around that. They said they wanted reoccurring themes to continue throughout the season, so I handed them about 15 pieces of music and let them take it from there.
A recently popularized field, music supervision is the art of selecting and licensing preexisting songs or recordings for use in visual media like film, television, video games, and advertising. A skilled music supervisor might choose the perfect song to enhance a dramatic television moment, help an advertising producer make smart, inspired music choices, or find a cost-effective workaround when a film's plot requires a particularly expensive, hard-to-license recording. Music might be selected based around a central guiding aesthetic, a sense of how the music would complement a specific scene, or knowledge that a certain new track is well positioned to succeed.
As a professional field, music supervision has only come into the spotlight relatively recently, making it difficult to define a typical career path for a music supervisor. Music supervisors tend to be musically trained, extremely well connected, and knowledgeable about music licensing practices. However, the only real job requirement is to be an avid music listener with connections in the music industry (and failing that, persistence and dedication). The most successful music supervisors can be paid large sums for a single project and rarely lack for work.
Music supervisors possess an unusually far-reaching and diverse knowledge of music history and recording artists, an intuitive sense of the emotional nuance of music, and a developed relationship with visual media. Generally, they are people who seek out, listen to, and remember as much music as they possibly can, and can organize and recall this information at will. In addition, music supervisors should be excellent communicators with strong networking skills. Finally, it's helpful to be tapped into the cultural and musical zeitgeist, with natural instincts about musical and visual trends.
Most high-profile music supervisors are freelancers who work on a project-by-project basis. However, music supervisors can also be employed by production companies; film, television, and video game studios; advertising companies; or even small music-supervision companies. The majority are based in either Los Angeles or New York City.
Unsurprisingly, work hours for music supervisors vary considerably. As they don't necessarily need an office for their work, many work from home or do the majority of their job on the go, moving from meeting to meeting. On the other hand, music supervisors who are acting as full-time music directors for a show or movie tend to be much more involved in the filming process and almost always spend some time on location.
